FAQ
Questions, answered
The things founders ask us most about forming a company in Europe.
What is EU Inc, and is it available yet?
EU Inc (the 28th Regime) is a proposed EU-wide company form that would let you register one business valid across all 27 member states. It is not law yet. The European Commission published the draft regulation on 18 March 2026, and it is expected to go live around 2027-2028.
When will EU Inc launch?
The European Commission published the draft regulation on 18 March 2026. The target is political agreement by the end of 2026, after which the rules apply 12 months later. Realistically, you can expect to register an EU Inc around 2027-2028.
Will EU Inc be a tax loophole?
No. Your company pays tax where it operates and is tax-resident, just like today. EU Inc harmonises company law and registration, not tax rates.
How is EU Inc different from Estonia e-Residency?
Estonia's e-Residency lets you run an Estonian company online today, but it is one country. EU Inc would be a single entity recognised across the whole EU. Until EU Inc exists, an Estonian company is the closest thing you can actually register.
What can I do if I need an EU company now?
Form one today. We set up an EU company for you in days (Estonia is often ready in about three) with licensed counsel, and you can revisit EU Inc when it goes live.
Can a non-EU resident form a company in Europe?
Yes. You do not need to be an EU citizen or resident. We handle the cross-border requirements: registered address, local director or agent where needed, and the right company type for your situation.
How long does formation take?
Anywhere from a few days to a few weeks depending on the country. An Estonian OÜ is often ready in about three days, while others take two to three weeks.
What's included in the price?
Formation, the registry filings, licensed counsel review and the core paperwork are covered by one fixed price. Optional extras like accounting or a registered office are shown separately before you commit.
Global reach: jurisdictions we serve
15+ EU jurisdictions covered, with licensed counsel in each.
